| Mikey And Me | ||||||
| Those of you who keep up with my column week after week know that there is a certain person in the political world that I am fascinated with.� I write about this man from time to time, attempting to dispel his lies and nonsense, attempting to show you, the reader, what really happened in the situation(s) in question.� I think a sufficient amount of time has passed since I last wrote an expos� on this half-wit, this philanderer of all things fictitious, this dabbler of fact-distortion, the "Tubby Hater Of Everything American," Michael Moore. | ||||||
| A quick visit to Michael Moore's website, http://www.michaelmoore.com, will show you that this man is hell-bent on two objectives - bashing President Bush and just about everything the man has accomplished in his term, and recruiting more followers into the 'Cult Of Moore' to vote against Bush in the next election.� Periodically, Mikey updates a section of his site called "Mike's Message," which serves as a sort of call-to-arms to all of his disciples, and allows Moore to begin with a new indoctrination session, or, more colloquially, a Republican bash-fest.� His latest message, dated Sept. 23, 2003, is no different. | ||||||
| In this message, entitled, "And Now a Chance to Bid Farewell to Mr. Bush," Michael Moore announces his latest accomplishment - getting "over 30,000" people on his mailing list to send letters to Gen. Wesley Clark, encouraging him to run for president in the 2004 election.� Michael, always the most modest of men, took partial credit for Clark's announcement to run, despite the fact that Moore still claims that he has "no plans to endorse anyone at this point."� The simple act of him telling "over 30,000" fans (which is a questionable figure itself) to urge Clark to run is bleeding with endorsement.� How in the world can Moore keep a straight face and say he is not endorsing anyone in light of this? | ||||||
| Furthermore, is Mikey not aware that at a 2001 Arkansas GOP dinner, Gen. Clark not only praised the Bush administration, but also the Reagan administration and, according to http://www.DrudgeReport.com, "American military involvement overseas"?� With the ferocious hate that Moore has for President Bush, it seems to me that he would be a little more suspicious of Clark, with his former GOP ties, that's all. | ||||||
| In other news, Moore has a new book coming out Oct. 7, entitled, "Dude, Where's My Country?"� According to a small synopsis of the book found on Mikey's website, "When the powers-that-be succeeded in ignoring-and then silencing-the nation's widespread dissent over war, one man stood on an Oscar stage and, in front of a billion people, outed the commander in chief for his fictitious presidency and his fictitious war." �First of all, to assume that the majority of the nation was against the war in the beginning is a fallacy.� According to an April Gallup poll taken soon after the war had begun, a whopping 76-percent of Americans supported President Bush's decision to wage war with Iraq.� In fact, since January, the number of Americans supporting the war has continuously been higher than the number of those who disapprove, according to the Gallup Organization's website, http://www.gallup.com.� Another thing: when did "the powers-that-be" succeed in silencing anybody?� I suppose Mikey has information that neither I, nor the rest of America for that matter, have.� It seems the only thing that is fictitious here is what Moore passes off as fact. | ||||||
| Only in America can someone like Moore exist.� Mikey twists numbers and facts to his liking, misleads people through his books and movies, and hates any and all Republicans simply because.� One thing is for certain: Moore, the "Tubby Hater Of Everything American," will continue to spew his rhetoric on the masses, and unfortunately, people will continue to buy into it.� I, however, will be here to call this man on his fabrications, and if I can make one person question Mikey's agenda, I know I have made a difference. | ||||||
